The ambiguous case is a comment line that ends with a backslash, so commenting out all the lines in a group of continued lines works in all cases, yes. (Beware how you phrase things: "comment every line that needs to be comment[ed] out" is a tautology, as the meaning of "needs to be commented out" depends on the file format, which isn't what you wanted to ask...)
